>>13449311Can we simulate our own universe or can we only create a lesser version of it? If we can that the universe is the thing that contains itself that contains itself that... If not then this whole thing breaks down in complexity relatively fast and thus no life-like existence is possible further down the chain which also means no more simulations.
Assuming there's a root universe to this simulation stack, what's stopping other root universes from existing completely independently? There might be infinitely many of them and they all might have their own civilizations that do simulations but when it comes to me being placed in one of them as an observer the probability of getting a root universe instead of a simulated universe is inf / inf.
What fucking difference does it even make if this universe is simulated? It might not be but instead, it might be condensed and what we perceive is just a projection into a higher space which gives us an illusion of locality. Sounds very much like a simulation to me. In the end, it would just be a model anyway but what is this question really about? Is there someone or something out there who has complete control over our existence? Is that what this is about?
Maybe I should phrase my opening question a bit differently then. Can god create a perfect copy of himself that is equally powerful?
It's all a meme if you ask me.
